"YACATION THOUGHTS. /"

This is the title of handsomely
bound and neatly printed little book of
poems of 1926 pages, of which Myron E.
Baker. Of this city, is the author. Mr..
Baker is quite young man, and wrote
this book of poems, from the sale of
which to obtain means to help him
through college. In view of the brief
time Mr.. Baker was engaged in writ
ing these poems, he has evinced a much
more than ordinary taste for poetic
writing. The book, we think, has
many creditable poems, and we cheer
fully commend it to the patronage of
the friends of home talent, and those
disposed to assist worthy young man
to obtain a finished school education.

Y. M. G. ASSOCIATION-IrS
WORK AND IT'S NEEDS

This Association has made a good
beginning, but, like all other institu.
tiOi.s of this kind, it requires time
and means to get it in the best condi-
ton. 1t has accomplished good work
thus far and what it is doing might
he more than doubled were there suit
able facilities provided. There are
now respectable number of young
men interested in the Association, and
one of the great necessities is more
room. To give an idea of some of the
work properly for the Association,
and of the class it aims to reach. two
of the members recently, on an even
ing, about o'clock, made a half-hour's
tour of observation in ten of the city
saloons, and found $50 young men and
boys in these places. 1t is probable
that this falls far short of the entire
number in the saloons during the
whole evening. Every good citizen
will concede that it would have been
far better if these young men and boys
had been gathered in the reading, con-
versation and class rooms Of the Y.
M. G. Association, where they could
have enjoyed interesting reading, inno-
cent amusements, or have engaged in
the study of some useful science, where
instruction is given gratuitously. Had
the accommodations been sufficient, it
is reasonable to conclude that very
many of those found in the saloons
would have been in the rooms of the
association. Young men must have
some place to meet, and many go to the
saloons for the want of another place.
There are a number Of necessary i'm
proyements for the proper equipment
of the Association for more extended
work; among these are the following Il
A room for juvenile department for
boys from 10 to 16 years of age. All
behaved boys are welcome to
the rooms, but it is found desirable
that boys of the ages named should
have separate apartment from young
men, and the latter are better satisfied
with a loom separate from the boys |
Those of nearly equal ages most |
naturally associate together.
The present gymnasium is too small
4 room, and too low ceiling for proper

THE ACTIVE CAREER OF THE LATE PUB.
Lie PRINTER ROUNDS.
Ex-Public Printer Sterling P. Rounds,
whose death occurred on Saturday even
ing at Omaha, was prominent early day
Wisconsin printer. He was born in
Berkshire, Franklin County, VT, in 1928,
and when a lad of IL came to this state
with his parents, who settled at South
port, now Kenosha. His first typograph-
ical experience was as "devil' in the
Southport american, owned by Gov. Har-
vey. In 1915 his reputation as skillful
printer procured for him the position of
foreman of the state Office at Madison.
This was followed by short experience
on the Sentinel, at Milwaukee, and on
Wing paper at Racine that increased
his skill but did not satisfy his ambition.
Then he roamed eastward, and worked
in the Office of the Buffalo Commercial
Advertiser. Returning to Racine, he,
in partnership with Edward Bliss, pub
lished literary and temperance weekly.
This proving a success, it was moved to
Milwaukee and consolidated with the
Commercial Advertiser. In 1851 he
moved to Chicago and became a MEM
